Personal Explanation

WORKCOVER

Mr VENNING (Schubert) (16:25): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Mr VENNING: During a speech to this house on Tuesday 5 March regarding WorkCover, I implied that I had sent correspondence to the minister. I also implied that I had not heard back from minister Snelling. After my staff read Hansard, they informed me that we, indeed, had received correspondence back. So, in the interests of fairness, I wish to correct the record and apologise to the minister, and I hope he can assist.
